What is the exchange rate, and can 1-way awards on partners be booked with IB? Looking to move points and use IB to book KIX-HKG-CDG 1-way. Thanks!

Hello GetSetJetSet, I guess the exchange rate depends in the country where your Amex is based. In Spain is 15 MR = 1 IB point, and currently they are running a promotion with 10% extra points. Regarding one-way awards, I do not think it can be done or the redemption rate is very bad(ie 75% of a return ticket), but others here will be able to advise better. heramato Jun 29, 11, 7:39 pm Im not 100% sure about this but one way redemptions are only permitted on IB/BA flights but as saviox said the rate is about 75% of a round trip. I've tried a few times to redeem award tickets online operated by other Oneworld members and the system didn't show the one-way option.

That's even worse than the usurious 120k BA would charge. I'm going to stick with *A. |
